Waitlist Q&A

Q.) How does the waiting-list work?

A.) We are technically a first come first serve restaurant. However, we do give our guests the option to join the waitlist in advance to avoid longer wait times. To put it simply, placing your name on our waiting list is putting your party in the queue before you're actually here, standing in line. We accept parties up to 6 people on the waitlist online, larger parties must call the restaurant or call for a reservation in advance.

Q.) How far in advance can you put your name on the waiting-list?

A.) The waiting-list fills up quickly, so we recommend that you call or go online and “join the waitlist” on the day that you plan to come in. We open at 7 A.M. everyday. Just as fair warning, we do get extremely busy, so sometimes it may take a bit before someone can get to your call, and or we may not be accepting anymore to join our waitlist online as we may be full for the day.

Q.) What if I’m traveling in from out of town? Would I be able to make a reservation then?

A.) We’d LOVE to get you in. We are very busy on Saturdays & Sundays, and don’t want the opportunity for you and your party to be spoiled with our extra long wait times. But we only take reservations for parties of 7-12 people. Our first timers, and special occasions are really special to us, we always want to give people a great Rise N Shine experience! SO please specify when calling or emailing and we will most certainly try to accommodate.

Q.) What is the maximum party size that you can accommodate?

A.) Depending on the needs of your party, there is a variety of sizes we can accommodate, but generally here are our rules surrounding party size:

• Parties of 1 to 6 people can be easily accommodated and thus have no special requirements.
• Parties of 7 to 12 people we do accept reservations in advance, and you can call any time MONDAY- FRIDAY. Larger parties do take up our larger booths and tables, which are very limited, so we do book up quickly. Due to this, we require that your entire party be here 10-15 minutes prior to your check-in time. These large parties require us to hold several tables, as well as move them together, which can disrupt the flow of the restaurant, especially if the party doesn't show up. As such, we require a credit card on file, and if the party fails to show up, you will be charged a $50 no-show fee. Even if some of the members of the party show up on time, but the rest of the party is not there, you may be at risk of forfeiting your table.
